This research article presents a twelve-port dual-band MIMO antenna for 5G and WLAN-enabled user equipment with dual-polarization characteristics. Both the operating frequencies are of sub-6GHz band centered at 3.6GHz and 5.5GHz respectively that are also independent of each other. Antenna polarizations depend on the excitation of the feed elements on the substrate. The antenna is designed using CST Studio Suite and fabricated on low-cost FR-4 substrate to ensure its easy availability and keep it cost-effective. The radiation pattern acquired for the proposed antenna is bi-directional with good gain and efficiency. The simulation results are in good covenant with experimental results.
